SUN5 interacts with nuclear membrane LaminB1 and cytoskeletal GTPase Septin12 mediating the sperm head-and-tail junction

ABSTRACT: Acephalic spermatozoa syndrome (ASS) is a severe teratospermia with decaudated, decapitated and malformed sperm, resulting in male infertility. Nuclear envelop (NE) protein SUN5 localizes to the junction between the sperm head and tail. Mutations in SUN5 gene have been identified most frequently (33-47%) in ASS cases, and the molecular mechanism needs to be explored. In the present study, we generated Sun5 knockout mice, which presented the phenotype of ASS. Nuclear membrane protein LaminB1, cytoskeletal GTPases Septin12 and Septin2 were identified as potential partners for interacting with SUN5 in mouse testis by immunoprecipitation-mass spectrometry (IP-MS). Further studies demonstrated that SUN5 co-operated with LaminB1, and connected proximal centriole by interacting with Septin12. The binding between SUN5 and Septin12 promoted the aggregation of SUN5 and Septin12 in the sperm neck. The disruption of LaminB1/SUN5/Septin12 complex by Sun5 deficiency caused separation of the Septin12- proximal centriole from the nucleus, leading to the breakage of the head-to-tail junction. Collectively, these data provide new insights into the pathogenesis of ASS caused by SUN5 deficiency.

Construction of N6 Methyladenosine Atlas in Yak Epididymis Reveals the Process of Sperm Maturation Modification

Project description:The epididymis is an important component of the male reproductive system and a crucial site for sperm maturation. During the process of sperm maturation through the epididymis, the effective payload of SncRNA significantly changes, which may be related to epigenetic modifications. Unfortunately, the N6 Methyladenosine (m6A) modification profile of the epididymis has not yet been established. In this study, the MeRIP seq combined with RNA seq method was used to analyze the m6A modification levels in the head, body, and tail of yak epididymis. It was found that the level of m6A in the epididymis significantly increased, and differentially methylated RNAs (DMRs) in the proximal end of the epididymis were significantly enriched in Gap junction, ErbB signaling pathway, and mTOR signaling pathway, participating in cell communication and sperm maturation processes. In the distal epididymis, DMRs are enriched in Apoptosis, FoxO signaling pathway, PI3K Akt signaling pathway, and TNF signaling pathway, which are involved in sperm autophagy, oxidative stress, and sperm maturation. In addition, we identified key genes with significant changes in m6A levels but no differences in RNA levels, including YY1 associated factor 2 (YAF2), Fork head box J2 (FOXJ2), and Fork head box O1 (FOXO1), suggesting that these genes are modified by m6A to affect translation processes and participate in sperm maturation. In summary, our study established an m6A map of the epididymis, which is beneficial for further understanding the maturation process of sperm and revealing more information related to male infertility.

DamID of Dam::LMN-1 and Dam::EMR-1 in Caenorhabditis elegans adult worms

Project description:Laminopathies are caused by mutations in components of the nuclear envelope (NE). While most NE components are widely expressed, laminopathies affect only a subset of tissues. However, the understanding of the molecular mechanisms that explain this phenomenon is still elusive. Here we have performed a genome wide DamID analysis in adult C. elegans nematodes comparing the DNA association profile of two components of the NE, Lamin/LMN-1 and Emerin/EMR-1. Although both proteins were associated to silent DNA, EMR-1 showed a predominant role in the anchoring of muscle and neuronal promoters to the nuclear periphery. Deletion of either EMR-1 or LEM-2, another integral NE protein, caused local changes in nuclear architecture with both increased and decreased LMN-1 association. Comparison of Dam::LMN-1 and Dam::EMR-1 DNA assotiation in wild type strains and Dam::LMN-1 DNA association in wild type, lem-2(tm1582) and emr-1(gk119) mutant backgrounds.

A heterochromatin gene signature unveils HP1α mediating neuroendocrine prostate cancer development and aggressiveness

Project description:Neuroendocrine prostate cancer (NEPC) is a lethal subtype of prostate cancer (PCa) with hyperchromatic nuclei being a distinguishing histopathological feature. Here we show that, underlying this distinct nuclear structure, heterochromatin related genes are significantly enriched in NEPC. Among them, heterochromatin protein 1α (HP1α) expression is increased early in NE transdifferentiation and is consistently elevated in clinical NEPC samples. Functional studies showed that HP1α knockdown attenuates NEPC tumor growth by inhibiting proliferation and survival. Its ectopic expression significantly promotes NE transdifferentiation in adenocarcinoma cells subjected to androgen deprivation treatment. To identify mechanisms underlying the function of HP1α involved in NEPC cell proliferation and adenocarcinoma cell NE transdifferentiation, we analyzed gene expression profiles from stable NEPC cell lines with control or HP1α knockdown, and adenocarcinoma cell lines with control or HP1α overexpression, respectively.

Distinct ‘safe zones’ at the nuclear envelope ensure robust replication of heterochromatic chromosome regions

Project description:Chromosome replication and transcription occur within a complex nuclear milieu whose functional subdomains are only beginning to be mapped out. The nuclear envelope (NE) generally interacts with heterochromatic regions of the genome that are inherently difficult to replicate. Here we delineate compositionally and functionally distict domains of the fission yeast NE, focusing on the NE regions specifically enriched for the inner NE protein, Bqt4, or the conserved lamin interacting domain protein, Lem2. Bqt4 is relatively mobile around the NE and acts in two capacities. First, Bqt4 is required for tethering two key heterochromatic regions, the chromosome termini and the mat locus, to the NE specifically while these regions are undergoing DNA replication. This positioning is required for robust replication and heterochromatin assembly in the wake of the replication fork. Second, Bqt4 mobilizes a subset of Lem2 molecules around the NE, where Lem2/Bqt4 promote pericentric heterochromatin maintenance. Opposing Bqt4-dependent Lem2 mobility are factors that stabilize Lem2 at its most abundant localization site beneath the centrosome, where Lem2 plays a crucial role in kinetochore maintenance. Our data prompt a model in which Bqt4-rich nuclear subdomains are ‘safe zones’ in which collisions between transcription and replication are averted and heterochromatin is reassembled faithfully following replication.

BAG5, a co-chaperone protein, regulates the assembly of HTCA in sperm

Project description:Acephalic spermatozoa syndrome is severe teratozoospermia, displaying the separation of the sperm head and tail. In 2015, we first reported that genetic ablation of SPATA6 results in the separation of sperm head and tail. Here, we focus on a co-chaperone protein BAG5 that interacts with SPATA6 and expresses in steps 9-16 spermatids. The deficiency of BAG5 in male mice causes the abnormal assembly of the head-tail coupling apparatus (HTCA), leading to acephalic spermatozoa and male infertility. In vivo and in vitro experiments demonstrated that HTCA formation-related proteins (SPATA6), cargo transport-related myosin proteins (MYO5A and MYL6) and dynein proteins (DYNLT1, DCTN1 and DNAL1) were misfolded after loss of BAG5. Further, BAG5 interacts with HSPA8 to regulate its affinity with SPATA6, myosin proteins and dynein proteins. Therefore, we speculate that BAG5 regulates the assembly of the head-tail coupling apparatus (HTCA) by activating the protein-folding function of HSPA8.

Pervasive nuclear envelope ruptures precede ECM signaling and disease onset without activating cGAS-STING in Lamin cardiomyopathy mice [sci-RNA-seq]

Project description:Nuclear envelope (NE) ruptures are emerging observations in Lamin-related dilated cardiomyopathy, an adult-onset disease caused by loss-of-function mutations in Lamin A/C, a nuclear lamina component. Here, we test a prevailing hypothesis that NE ruptures trigger the pathological cGAS-STING cytosolic DNA-sensing pathway using a mouse model of Lamin cardiomyopathy. The reduction of Lamin A/C in cardiomyocytes of adult mice causes pervasive NE ruptures in cardiomyocytes, preceding inflammatory transcription, fibrosis, and fatal dilated cardiomyopathy. NE ruptures are followed by DNA damage accumulation without causing immediate cardiomyocyte death. However, cGAS-STING-dependent inflammatory signaling remains inactive. Deleting cGas or Sting does not rescue cardiomyopathy. The lack of cGAS-STING activation is likely due to the near absence of cGAS expression in adult cardiomyocytes at baseline. Instead, extracellular matrix (ECM) signaling is activated and predicted to initiate pro-inflammatory communication from Lamin-reduced cardiomyocytes to fibroblasts. Our work nominates ECM signaling, not cGAS-STING, as a potential inflammatory contributor in Lamin cardiomyopathy.
